- presentation. Alexco does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by
applicable law. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future remediation and reclamation activities, future mineral exploration, the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources, the realization of mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, future mine construction and development activities, future mine operation and production, the timing of activities, the amount of estimated revenues and expenses, the success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, requirements for additional capital and sources and uses of funds. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events
- r results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to
actual results and timing of exploration and development activities; actual results and timing of mining activities; actual results and timing of environmental services operations; actual results and timing of remediation and reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of silver, gold, lead, zinc and other commodities; possible variations in mineable resources, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and
- ther risks of the mining industry; First Nation rights and title; continued capitalization and commercial viability; global economic conditions;
competition; and delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development activities. Furthermore, forward- looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of Alexco or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to those referred to in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the MD&A included in Alexco’s most recent interim and annual financial reports, its current AIF and U.S. Form 40-F, and various of its other continuous disclosure documents. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable at the time they are made. In making the forward-looking statements included in this presentation, Alexco has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that: (1) the proposed development of its mineral projects will be viable operationally and economically and proceed as planned; (2) market fundamentals will result in sustained silver, gold, lead and zinc demand and prices, and such prices will be materially consistent with or more favourable than those anticipated in the Bellekeno Development Plan, (3) the actual nature, size and grade of its mineral resources are materially consistent with the resource estimates reported in the supporting technical reports; and (4) any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms.
